▸ Alternative video Spotify
“Disturbing the Priest” is the third song of the album Born Again, by the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. The song was one of the last songs that was recorded for the album, and it is, in fact, a homage to a priest that lived near the studio where Born Again was recorded. The priest that went in the studio to ask them to play it low.
Gillan also explained the genesis of “Disturbing the Priest”:
We were in loud playback mode, with the door open...When the track ended I was surprised to see a nervous vicar standing in the doorway. He explained how wonderful he thought the music was, but they were having choir practise in the adjacent village church and so would we mind closing the door…? I apologised immediately, we got hold of his schedule and never worked again... Read on...
Song lines: ♪ Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to die ... Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least ... If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed ♫
